The Liquid List Rugeley meetings are hosted by Ex Naval Commander Charlie Bogot Jewitt. The Location for this is the wonderfully picturesque Blithfield Hall, Rugeley. The Event starts at 1830 hours. I hope all attendees will be able to get to it as it is a monster networking opportunity!
VenueBlithfield Hall, its buildings with turrets and battlements, with the main house joined by battlement walls and the turreted gateway is one of the oldest castles in England. At first, it only contained the main castle with a few buildings with the moat surrounding the establishment. Blithfield is situated between the valleys of the two rivers, Blythe and Trent, lying in a hollow, but on high ground. It is not known that it got its name from the Blythe, because the Blithfield family had lived there for centuries before Ralph Bagot married Elizabeth Blithfield in 1360, but probably did get its name from the Blythe River. In 1953 the river was dammed to form a reservoir and now a very attractive lake lies southeast of the house.
